The meaning of CE on protective gloves

    I believe that many users have seen a "CE" mark when using protective gloves. What does this mean? Next, let me introduce the meaning of the CE mark on the protective gloves.

In the CE mark, the index 89/686/EEC for safety protective equipment proposes that two grades of gloves may encounter two levels of hazard. In order to comply with the 89/686/EEC indicator, there is a hazard level indicator so that the selection level is suitable. Gloves.

Category 1: Simple Design Gloves - Only for Lesser Dangers This category applies to gloves that are simple in design and that only protect against low levels of hazard, such as cleaning gloves. Manufacturers can test and certify themselves.

Category 2 (intermediate): Medium-designed gloves – suitable for medium-duty hazards Suitable for gloves that are resistant to moderate hazards, such as those that are subject to cutting, penetration, wear, etc. Products must be sent to a designated certification body for independent testing and certification. Only these agencies can issue CE markings. Without these marking gloves, sales will not be allowed. Each certification body has its own unique number. The name and address of the certification body must appear in the glove manual.

Category 3 (fatal): Complexly designed gloves - gloves that are suitable for irreparable or fatal hazards, such as chemical protective gloves. Products must also be tested and certified by a designated certification body, and the manufacturer's own product quality assurance system needs to be consistent with the standard or a separate quality conformance test for the product.

In summary, the meaning of the CE mark on the protective gloves is actually to distinguish and guarantee the quality of the protective articles. Therefore, you can choose the appropriate level of protective gloves according to your actual situation.
